HONESTBEE DELIVERS ONLY THE BEST FROM S&R

- KATHY MORAN

Honestbee, Asia’s leading online concierge and delivery service, helps you shop for groceries and basic household needs in the comfort of your own home, with its all-in-one, easy-to-use platform.

Launched in the Philippine­s in 2017, Honestbee gathers all the best products in one marketplac­e, and gets it to you on time, all the time.

“At Honestbee we are very particular about quality and making sure that we provide the best convenienc­e and a good assortment for our customers, especially moms and office people,” says Crystal Gonzalez, managing director of Honestbee. “Also, our customers want the option to be able to shop there for their favorite products that can only be found in S&R.”

Let’s be honest: nowadays, almost anything can be accessed through our smartphone­s. Everything from email and breaking news to laundry and grocery shopping are just a few convenient taps away. We no longer have to sit through traffic and wait in lines to accomplish mundane errands. And grocery shopping, with shoppers called “bees” that will make sure that you have only the best grocery items delivered to your doorstep? What more could you ask for?

This is what Honestbee wants to do for those moms and office workers who prefer to be productive with their time and not have to face the horrendous traffic of Metro Manila.

Adding to its extensive lineup of services, Honestbee launches its partnershi­p with S&R Membership Shopping, giving you access usually limited to its members, from fresh produce to high-quality wines and spirits, and other world-class products. Not only that, you can also avail of their famous New York-style pizza, chicken and churros through their app.

“We are always looking for establishm­ents to partner with to deliver your favorite food and grocery items straight to your doorstep,” adds Gonzalez. “We’re happy to have found one in S&R, which allows you to enjoy its world-class and high-quality products and the freshest seafood, meats and vegetables with just the press of a button.”

Currently in contact with nine S&R branches around the metro to cater to your orders, Honestbee plans to expand to more stores in the coming weeks. Their trained in-store concierge shopper bees ensure that the items in your shopping cart are carefully handpicked, in good condition, with suitable expiration dates. Products are packed properly and transporte­d by nearby delivery bees straight to you.

Aside from groceries, Honestbee also offers a food-delivery service that includes S&R as one of its many partner food merchants. So when you’re craving for New York-style pizza or when it’s time to stock up your pantry, just Honestbee.
